Will I see alligators year-round? Will I be safe? What about mosquitos? Thousands of people visit Alligator Bayou each year, and many of them are kind enough to send thank-you letters. Here are a few of our favorites.

Experience our hospitality and a wilderness adventure you’ll never
forget. After your eco-swamp tour, enjoy our other attractions.

GATORS! GATORS! GATORS! We know this is what you want to see and guess what? We’ve got ‘em! You’ll see live gators in the wild as we cruise into Bluff Swamp and Cypress Flats. Just as exciting is our 10-acre ALLIGATOR ECO-HABITAT swarming with live gators and a daring, death-defying gator show!. Learn more

Alligator Bayou winds into the 13,000-acre Spanish Lake Basin and a wetland habitat of bayous, swamps and lakes. This unique tour will take you deep into the heart of Louisiana swamps.
Walk through our 6 acre alligator eco-habitat, see our huge alligator snapping turtles in their habitat complete with frogs, fish and a few surprises, plus we've got cajun cottages, canoe rentals, gift shop and more.
The colors and textures of the swamp are some of the most amazing scenes you will ever see.
Stop by and shop for awhile. Located in the Alligator Bayou Bait Shop (and complete with snake and gator exhibits), the Duck's Nest Shoppe features unique, one-of-a-kind gifts made by Louisiana craftspeople.
Our bayou-side pavilion is the perfect place for your "fais do do." Let us design a unique and unforgettable wedding, banquet or party, with or without a swamp tour.
Louisiana's most historic wetlands habitat is the perfect place to learn about and celebrate history, biology and swamp ecology.
Located in Louisiana's Plantation Country, the Spanish Lake Basin is bordered by Bayou Manchac, an Indian short-cut from the Mississippi River to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico.
In 1993, the co-owners of Alligator Bayou Tours learned that hundreds of acres of bottomland hardwoods in the Spanish Lake Basin would be cut for lumber. This valuable habitat was saved by Frank Bonifay, Jim Ragland and community members working in cooperation with local, state and federal government.
